pansophist: About Putin not building the Russian economy, it's more complicated than that. If you compare the Russian economical strength with China, then yes, Russia will measure low.
But if you compare Russian economy with the rest of the world, they are not doing bad at all. Russia is among the top ten largest economy in the world.
Also about Putin not developing Russia's economy, please be aware that Putin inherited an almost defunct country from the drunkard Gorbachev, and built Russia to where it is today.
For russia to be able to withstand the most deadly sanctions the West can give, only goes to show the economical resilience of the Russian economy. Economy is not only about GDP.
Most importantly, a solid economy can be built when you're left alone, not when you're being poked from every corners by aggressive powers. The West will never leave the east alone, so they put more effort to defend than grow their economy.
You're absolutely correct.
Russia debt is the lowest in the world.
When the drunkard Yelstin was president, Russia was poverty stricken and all the national resources were owned by a few Jewish oligarchs. People queued for scarce bread. It was like Congo.
Honestly, Russians should erect statues all over Russia to honour the great statesman Vladimir Putin.
Russian lawmakers pass bill outlawing gender reassignment
Published On 14 Jul 2023 Russian politicians have adopted a bill outlawing gender-reassignment procedures amid the Kremlin’s push to protect what it views as the country’s “traditional values”.
Satanism is the glorification of mental illness like LGBTQI, pervasion, degeneracy and replacing all God ordained norms and values with vice and evil. This is why every year there are reports of millions of missing kids all across the world. These evil vermin kidnap them for sex slavery and satanic rituals.
It's good to see most of the countries in the Global South taking a firm stand against this filth. God bless Vladimir Putin.
Eish Wena! Last time I was in Jozi CBD, the Makwerekwere and more so Nigerians had really messed things up, especially Hillbrow side. They sell vegetables on the road, drugs and are filthy and violent. It's not a pleasant place at all.
Sandton and Rosebank are much bettter CBDs in Jozi.
ednut1: i lived in Uk from 2005 to 2008. You probably still dey roll tire then. My mum was a nurse there for 9 years. I have cousins, siblings, friends there etc. All these una imaginary skin colour ehn. My own brother in the UK was given a BMW in this first job many years ago as company Car. Maybe he identifies as white 🤣. You are more likely to get a job as a minority these days than 10 years ago. Companies are trying to hard to meet diversity and inclusion quotas. If una like keep complaining and dont go and get the required skills.
Your ancedotal account is bullshit. Why do you think France was burning just the other day? There's no good opportunity for ethnic minorities in Europe. Maybe in America, but not Europe. FYI, I studied in London (KCL) in 2010-2011 so I know first hand what I'm talking about.
This lady was born in the UK, infact her grandparents came over with the Windrush generation in the 1950s. Yet she left the UK and found business success in Africa (Gambia)
ednut1: is UK not in Europe , what of the nurses, IT, doctors and accountants that have gone recently or those born there . In the places you are talking about like German, Finland and co, one there is language barrier, two many of the Nigerians there never had a sellable skill to begin with . Nothing stops them from learning skilled work like electricians, plumbing etc. Or going to upskill in lucrative fields. I have friends in Germany who learnt IT and are currently working in the field. Last last everyone has their reason for Japa, some are happy with those jobs you listed
I don't think you've been in Europe my guy. There's a ceiling related to skin colour. It's very difficult working in a white collar profession and your qualifications or experience don't matter.
The Indians and Chinese do well because they pool resources together and start their own business so the glass ceiling doesn't matter
ednut1: the west needs accountants specifically auditors . UK audit firms like kpmg, bdo, pwc have been hiring auditors and tax people from Nigeria. Same with USA and Australia. Canada firms has also been accepting those with pr and previous experience in Nigeria. So what you are saying is not entirely true.
At OP, where you go put Canada In my department in a foreign bank here in Canada over 30 Nigerians dey my unit, in other banks too Nigerians, Chinese and Indians dominate. White people no want the jobs. Go to tech companies like ViSA, Microsoft, amazon and co. Nigerians yapa there. If it medicine and nursing we yapa there. Engineering nko we still yapa there. Project management nko same. Even the lawyers are getting jobs as legal secretaries, assistants while they write rcutheir bar exams. Your analogy no follow 🤣. There are different types of japa too, permanent residency, work permits, study visa, visit visa etc
Nigerians in Europe are mostly in blue collar employment-security guards, caregivers,food delivery, etc upward mobility is very difficult, even for those born there, talkless a Johnny come lately.
UK is a dump, especially where most Africans can afford to live i.e Peckham, Hackney, Tottenham, Barking, etc
As soon as you arrive at Peckham Rye station, you'll be hit with foul stench, filth and chaos in the streets, just like parts of Lagos. The Nigerian kids there are into gangs, drugs and crimes. They're worse than Lagos agberos.
I studied for my master's in London so I know what I'm talking about.
1) He got rid of the traitorous fifth column within Russia. These parasites - handpicked by the US and globalists - were deliberately destroying Russia in the 1990s.
2) He crushed Chechnya’s jihadists who were armed/funded by the CIA. Winning that war was a huge morale boost for Russian military, which was decimated in the 1990s.
3) Putin healed and turbocharged the Russian economy in countless ways:
🔹Grew GDP 10-fold in 10 years
🔹Tamed inflation, which was like 100% when he took office
🔹Made Russia the king of oil and gas again
🔹Increased FOREX from virtually 0 to $600+ billion
🔹Russia was importing food in the late 1990s. Under Putin, Russia became #1 in wheat and surpassed the U.S. in exports!
🔹Built massive infrastructure for the people
🔹Putin reduced poverty, suicide, unemployment and numerous other social problems that plagued Russia in the 1990s
4) He made strategic alliances with China; envisioned a multipolar world as early as 2007; challenged the American Empire; saved Syria from US-sponsored Al Qaeda; and is now championing dedollarization and BRICS currency.
He rebuilt friendship with Europe. In 2012, every European leader has great relations with Putin.
5) Brought back Christianity and family values to Russia. Built/renovated 10,000 churches and monasteries
Of course, the US sabotaged Russia’s growth and prosperity, demonized Putin, and is playing the perfect role of “Empire of Chaos.”
If Russia survives this vicious attack by the psychopaths of U.S./NATO, it will emerge stronger and as a veritable great power of the 21st century.
And everyone in the Global South should be rooting for Russia.
When the drunkard Yelstin was president, Russia was poverty stricken and all the national resources were owned by a few Jewish oligarchs. People queued for scarce bread. It was like Congo.
Honestly, Russians should erect statues all over Russia to honour the great statesman Vladimir Putin.
emmaodet: Honestly, i think the black man/race iscursed. Namibia is larger than Nigeria landmass wise but with the population half of Ogun state (2.5m) which means there is vast land for farming or anything and the government overhead cost should be low because they will need to build less universities, hospitals, schools etc
Ogun state has 1 federal uni, 1 state uni, i federal poly and 1 state poly, 2 colleges of education for a population of 5m, so namibia at worst needs half of that.
Despite having huge diamond reserve,the country people are sooooo poor and the goverment has looted and borrowed from international banks to the limit with virtually nothing to show for the small population country.
So sad. Atleast we can lie to ourselves here in nigeria that the population is too much for the revenue the country is earning to show. what about failed smaller countries with resources like equitorial guinea? gabon, namibia, angola, congos etc
I doubt you've been to Namibia before? You can't compare the development in that country to Nigeria. Yes it has a smaller population and economy but when I visited there, I remember Windhoek as a nice organised city with low levels of visible poverty.
Countries such as Botswana, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda are well managed, Black upper middle class countries.
Bahamas and Bermuda in particular are wealthier and more organized than many European countries.
